But if you're hit during spellcasting, that comes as a shock: you might cry out in pain or flinch because of the damage when first it is inflicted (and maybe you didn't see the blow coming), and that can brake your concentration.But I think half damage should be alright, especially since we are only talking about the damage the caster takes during his turn, as there are not so many occasions to be damaged during your own turn before you cast a spell. I can only think of the case where you move first and get an AoO because of that!</blockquote>
